Why this suits Orkney
Aluminium holds a slimmer section than uPVC at the same structural performance, so a like-for-like replacement puts noticeably more glass in the same hole. In Orkney that matters most on extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter.
Stone-built vernacular and modern island housing. Extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter. The failure that tends to come first is Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Freight to the islands is a separate leg — allow real time for it. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Aluminium windows in Orkney — questions
Do you deliver to Orkney?
Yes. Orkney is 573 road miles from our Birmingham unit, which puts it in Zone E: 3–5 working days once made. Everything is made to your sizes before it goes on the vehicle.
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Most people take delivery. Collection is from Unit 1 Hems Crescent, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 5DG. Bring something big enough — a full door set does not go in a hatchback.
Who notifies building control on a supply-only order in Orkney?
You do. Replacement windows and external doors are notifiable work, and with no registered installer involved there is no FENSA or CERTASS self-certification. If we install, we certify.
Which postcodes does that cover?
Orkney covers KW15, KW16, KW17. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for Orkney?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Orkney carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
